Flashback Friday

Before I had kids, I took care of my grandma and helped my grandpa with his books for his business. Not something I ever thought I would do but I ended up loving it and the feelings it gave me to be helping someone I loved. My grandparents instilled in me many things that they may not have known they gave me. Taught me how to be a responsible adult. I remember when I got my first credit card. I was 18 years old. I thought “free money.” I was wrong and grandpa made sure to explain to me how it worked. Of course that was after I had maxed out the card but after he told me the ways of the credit world (it was the most boring conversation ever) I never did that again!

I was a senior in high school getting ready for home coming at their house. Grandpa and dad were helping me get ready. Dad was so nervous but it wasn’t grandpa’s first rodeo so he was holding it all together for him. Seeing it captured in pictures later in life means the world to me!

After taking care of grandma for quite a few years, my grandparents moved to Arizona and I got knocked up! 20 and Yes, Knocked up! Levi was on his way and life was changing for us all. I still visited my grandparents as much as I could. In fact, that’s where Levi took his first steps and learned to swim! And they came back to visit me. They were there when he was born! A moment I will treasure forever!

My flash bask friday for a few people I will always love and treasure every memory for the rest of my life.

Welcome To My World

My name is Winter. I am the mother of 2 audacious children and am an oil patch wife. I enjoy spewing word vomit and positivity wherever I can. With the hopes that I can help just one person change and learn to wake up and think happy thoughts. That no matter how crappy their days seem or that their kids plans seem to be to ruin everything they own and every good time they strive to have, they still have a smile on their face and see the good in the situation! To make someone laugh, cry, smile, read, peruse, learn a new word. To see things a different a way. To maybe learn something new. I have found a new found love for yoga. I love being outside and am always up for a challenge in learning something new.
